“There is a variety of
gifts
but always the
same Spirit;
There are all sorts of
service to be done,
But always to the
same Lord;
Working in all sorts of
different ways in
different people,
It is the same God
who is working
in all of them.”
[1Cor 12:4-6]

KIMBERLEY CATHOLIC VOLUNTEER NEWS
Since the beginning of 2010 there are four new additions to the Diocesan Kimberley Catholic Volunteer team. These are Marion Whitbread, Chris Knapman, Carmen Ortiz and John Bodnar. Marion features in our Easter edition of the Kimberley Community Profile magazine, and you can read more about Chris, Carmen and John in “Briefly Speaking” of this edition of the magazine.
Recently, in true volunteering spirit, Helen and Laurie Short, the volunteers currently based at La Grange- Bidyadanga Parish, packed their bags at very short notice, jumped into their trusty Hilux, and headed out east to the Mirrilingki Spirituality Centre for two weeks. Their generosity in accepting this upheaval to their lives is inspirational.
Helen and Laurie assisted with the first Drug and Alcohol Program for 2010. These programs are run three times a year, and during the programs, the guests require full board, so Laurie and Helen had lots of cooking to do. They joined the team already in place at Mirrilingki, which consists of Tomasz and Anna Stephan, along with baby Jacob, Joan McPherson, and our latest volunteer, Carmen Ortiz, recently arrived from Maroubra, Sydney.
As usual, the volunteers continue to give life to the Church in the Kimberley as they have done for nearly sixty years.
Our gratitude for their contribution is boundless.
